PROVISIONS OF THE BILL WHICH PASSED Tue SEN
ATE-THE VOTE In DETAIL
The senate late yesterday afternoon passed the
substitute for the Beck bill to prohibit members
Of Congress from acting as attorneys for land
grant corporations. Mr.. Beck said there was not
much in the substitute that he cared anything
about, but the House would have an opportunity
to put something effective In the bill As passed
the bill is as follows:
sThat it shall be unlawful for any member of
either house OF Congress to accept employment as
attOfney-af-law or payment for services OF any
kind in opposition to the United States, In any
case to which the United states may be party,
OF in which its interests may be concerned or
have reasonable cause to believe that measures
specially affecting the interests OF such company
are pending before Congress or are about TO be so
pending during his term OF Office. Any person
who violates the provisions OF this act shall be
guilty of a miSdemeanor and may be punished by
Imprisonment not exceeding one year or by fine
not exceeding $500, or by both In the discretion OF
the court"
The vote was as follows:

MATTHEW'S CAN HOLD ON.
IL the President Does Not ChOose CD
SuperCede Him.

The Official notification OF Mr.. Matthew'S rejec.
ton as recorder OF deeds by the Senate has not yet
been received at the White House. The President
Will, OF course, take no action in the matter until
after he is SO informed. There is no indication
however, OF what course he intends to pursue, but
he can permit the present situation OF affairs to
continue until the end OF the present session OF
Congress without causing a vacancy In the office
OF recorder. The commission issued to Mr..
Matthews BY the President after the
adjournment of the last session OF
congress is operative until the end OF the present
session, unless the appointee should be confirmed
Dy the Senate and another commission issued in
stead or unless the President should nominate
some one else to succeed him. Mr.. Matthews will
continue on duty until the end OF the ses:
SION, unless he is superseded. II the
President SO desires he can then appoint
him again, and issue a commission sim-
Lar to that under which he now serves
which viii be valid until the end OF the next ses
SION OF Congress, provided he is neitherconfirmed
nor superseded. There is nothing TO prevent the
President III he so desires from keeping Mr.. Mat
thews In Office this way until the close OF his ad-
minlstration. Whether IT would be policy for him
10 so DO In the face OF expressed opposition Of the
senate, Is another question.
